Successive High Priests

Famous quotes containing the words successive, high and/or priests:

“I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know. You pull one book from the shelf, which carries a hint or a reference that sends you posthaste to another book, and that to successive others. It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

“No man rises so high as he knows not whither he goes.”
—Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)

“Drive the women from the bed just as you drove them from the choir; a eunuch sings in Rome, and the priests masturbate.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
